TIQ BRINGS SILVER ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM TO SAVANNAH, GA – OCT. 22, 2010

The Lucas Theatre for the Arts located on 32 Abercorn Street will be giving the stage up to The Turtle Island Quartet with Cyrus Chestnut and Mike Marshall on Friday, October 22nd, 2010 at 8:00 p.m.

Started in 1985, and named for Native American creation mythology, The Turtle Island Quartet has been pushing the boundaries of chamber music for strings. They combine classic quartet aesthetic with contemporary American music styles. Most recent accolades include 2006 and 2008 Grammy Awards for Best Classic Crossover album. This rare concert will also feature Americana legends Cyrus Chestnut on piano and Mike Marshall on mandolin.

Turtle Island Quartet continues their grail-like quest in a program that matches a reinterpretation of Brahms celebrated piano quintet with a gospel-tinged fantasy of Down by the Riverside. The giants of jazz such as Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Louis Armstrong are given their just due and bluegrass legends like Bill Monroe and Flatt and Scruggs are brought to the table for this musical feast and you can be part of it all when you call 912-525-5050 to get your tickets!
